Butch,

Please research my old posts about the P-19 ..... I have a wee bit of experience w/ the boat (as I look out into my snow covered yard, mine is sitting on her trailer buried under her cover....) You may find the answer to your particular issue .... my rudder system works just fine ... it just took a little time w/ some files to shape the lock-down pin ... file the slots slightly longer ... or repair the "new" style rudder blades that split from top-to-bottom from shear loads along the seam

All are easy fixes .... they just take a little time and thought in determining what is actually causing the problem ....

If you can not locate my old "posts" .... then post here what the problems seem to be and I'll try to explain what the fix is ....
